Of good resolutions and farewells

You are already a great group here on Parfumo and I very often enjoy friendly exchanges, stimulating comments ... AND ... of course the one or the other fragrance post, which my well-intentioned resolutions ... Well, you might know that too...

The package reached me last Thursday at an advanced hour. The joy about the carefully compiled content lasted only a short time, because immediately afterwards our eldest son rumbled into the cosy evening round and announced that his much-loved four-legged roommate suddenly didn't look so good. Her condition did not allow her to wait until the next day and so she had to be put into the experienced hands of a veterinarian that same evening. Once you have decided to live an enriching life with animals under one roof, you bear responsibility. This also includes one or the other unpleasant decision. And so we wished the elderly lady a good last journey after two days of intensive veterinary care. During these two days of hope, anxiety, chaos and disillusionment, I was accompanied and comforted by a fragrance selected by the dear SchatzSucher with unerring accuracy. I'd rather thank you Sven for the exquisite melange of the rehearsals and the honour that I can test these treasures.
Perfume Calligraphy Rose begins for me with a pleasant sweet-spicy prelude. It's a well-dosed 'herbal' sweetness. Not long, and the rose appears. And what a one. Not a teenage fresh rose. No, this one is slightly candied and reminds me a bit of a fruity liqueur without being sticky. I find the comparison with a rosendesert in the previous comments extremely apt and elegant. Oregano and lavender skilfully prevent the rose from slipping into the pompous heaviness and give the fragrance a kind of lightness. The wearer*in is enveloped in a protective, comforting, supple soft fragrancetaura. Warm amber and discreet incense accompany this beautiful rose for many hours. The shelf life is good with 8 hours. The initially strong Sillage is increasingly receding on my skin after more than 3 hours. This all doesn't sound so exciting now, but Calligraphy Rose is a real nose connoisseur. Further down in the comments a comparison to Tauers "Une Rose de Kandahar" has been drawn. Although both perfumes approach the rose theme similarly, the Tauer is "coarser" in the composition, louder and more self-confident. Well, if you're looking for decency, you won't go for the tauer. In a direct comparison, the Calligraphy Rose is clearly ahead. It is wonderfully balanced and manages the balancing act between spices, sweetness and a clear rose. Actually (and if a sentence already begins with "actually"...) another fragrance was preferred as the next purchase. Someone who's been on the wish list a long time. And there it still stands, because I'm all over this soft, warm, gentle fluid and I'm hoping to find a bottle left over.
My thanks go to SchatzSucher: dear Sven, thank you very much for your mail. With effort and thought you have chosen the treasures. The new fragrance experiences are a real ray of hope. And with sophistication and intuition, you've vamoosed my good intentions.

This weekend we said goodbye. My kids baked a cake. It was written in sugar with "Farewell Rosie" on it. Show must go on.

Namaste ;)

I have already been through such difficult passages several times. None was easier or harder than the other, all of them a catastrophe. I can't smell the scent I added to it. I'm glad it wasn't Calligraphy Rose! Wonderful and aptly described. Rose trophy for you!

Hah, I'm allowed to test him right now... and hope that Schatzucher's bottle is not empty yet, because he is so generous... great. So great your comment, I'll save mine - and a thousand thanks to Schatzsucher.

What a magical commentary, but I read it with a little tear in my eye. The farewell of a beloved four-legged housemate is so incredibly close. But I'm glad you like the smell so much! You couldn't have described the scent better and good intentions are there to prevent you from keeping them anyway. What do I care about my gossip from yesterday ❤️

Oh, what a beautiful and touching commentary. Your description brings the scent very close to me. It's the sad farewell to a furry child anyway
So often also witnessed and again and again lost in sadness. All the best for you.
